ok,
i have several clutches of bearded dragons (1 hatched, 2 incubating)

i need a very solid sturdy cricket breeding set up and system...

i tried to breed them last time, but i ran into a problem, after the eggs hatch, they won't grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they just stay about the same size...for like 4 weeks, if not more.

what can i do to make them grow?

any other helpful stuff.

also, cricket breeders, what do you put them in? is it dark or light in their cage?

day/night cycle?

thanx all, sorry for all the questions

Crix can seem slow. Plus if your temps are low or humidity low you may have slower growth.
Personally I would got to a roach (lobster would suit nicely though they climb) and work with that. Our beardies love them and so do our geckos.
